A year ago Graveyard Train were spinning out of control. Over a few short years they’d morphed from a bunch of mates getting drunk and playing small dive bars to a band trying to maintain some semblance of the professionalism needed to play international festivals and headline major theatres.

Their 2012 album Hollow swiftly pulled 5 stars from The Age, filled a space in PBSFM’s Top 10 and Mess+Noise’s Top 20 Albums Of The Year. Whilst lead single ‘I’m Gone’ was the #1 most played song on Australian Community Radio.

After headlining the Forum and selling out consecutive Hi Fi shows in Melbourne, getting the coveted audience-approved Golden Boot at Meredith Music Festival, playing to inmates in a prison, seducing 25,000 punters on the main stage at West Coast Blues N Roots, touring the world and then having some redneck write a song about how they ruined Tamworth, in a lot of ways the band felt they accomplished more than they set out to do.
